The bug is actually solved: now you see an exception when a thread
cannot be created (before the bug was solved you couldn't know if the
thread was successfully created or not).
As per the solution to the maximum number of threads, you can look here:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/481900/whats-the-maximum-number-of-threads-in-windows-server-2003
it seems the limit is due to the available memory and the stack used
by each thread.
